[Interest] all caps font on android 8

[ekke]

I got similar reports for my QtQuickControls2 apps on Android
But in my case only TextFields always show Uppercase while entering text

Long time I built my Android Apps for Android6(SDK23).
Now after building for Android 8 and Qt 5.10.1 some reports are coming in
It seems it depends from the Device or Keyboard installed
Some - but not all - Samsung users are reporting this.

For Samsung I found this:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Other-Mobile-Devices/After-the-latest-update-the-Samsung-keyboard-capitalizes-every/m-p/264634/highlight/true#M9860

>From that Samsung discussion found a workaround:
In Android Settings Keyboard Switch OFF AutoCapitalize

or from
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-textfield.html#inputMethodHints-prop

InputMethodHint "Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase"
also helped.

But then there's no auto uppercase for sentences.

Or try to install another Keyboard Google G-board should be ok, also
many of my users have installed BlackBerry Keyboard, which also works
well on Qt 5.10.1 and Android8

@maitai don't know if this will help with QWidgets - I'm only developing
QtQuickControls2 apps
